Description

Herbie Hancock - V.S.O.P. 
JAPAN CBS/Sony ?– 40AP 530-1 / 1977 1st
Records and cover: ExEx
With Obi stripe: RARE Yellow & Black version

The record is from my own collection so I can vouch that it plays lovely and is still with glossy finish.
I'm happy to answer any questions and provide additional pictures.

The Japanese vinyl is better than most because the manufacturing is more exact and the material of a high quality. They are more averse to static, which means that over time the record attracts less dust and dirt and the vinyl lasts longer and plays cleaner.  Although the vinyl is better, Japanese paper stocks, labels and covers are more prone to foxing (brown spots) which I don't mind as it's all part of the ageing process.
I have owned a handful of records in both: UK, US, European and Japanese versions and in ALL cases the Japanese vinyl sounds better. The difference I've found is in the depth and clarity and is especially more noticeable in the base frequencies. - It's like the pixel resolution on a digital image 72dpi vs 100dpi.
